How To Make A Great First Impression
OK guys, you’ve read some of my articles, and you know some of the general rules, but there is just something wrong. You’ve improved on your confidence and dating skills, but you still can’t seem to get that date? Well, here I am going to talk about a fundamental rule of dating and that is: First Impressions Count.
Firstly lets break things down:
Fashion: You know the feeling – you’ve just bought a new suit for a party, or even for work, or you’ve got a new Panarei watch and you strut down the road wishing everyone could see you, holding your head high and feeling on top of the world. That is what some call Retail Therapy. This is where a man can in fact improve on their outlook and start exuding the confidence I always talk about, by buying nicer things. Now although you might say – “Why do I have to do this to get a girl” – I am here to tell you that you don’t. You do NOT have to do these things if you area already a super confidence man, or if you look like Brad Pitt. For most of us, like I used to be, this was one of the first steps in making sure I made a good First
Impression. Girls like men that dress well. Yes, its important not to have holes in your shoes, Yes it’s important that you don’t smell. These things, no matter how smooth you are, won’t land you with the hot girl, unless of course you are camping in the middle of no-where and you all look like that! So make sure your shoes and belt match, that you have a nice splash of cologne or deodorant, and that you are dressed appropriately for the venue. An Armarni suit may make you feel fantastic at work, but you will feel like a bit of a doushbag if you rock up to a beach party wearing your new Rolex watch and suit. So dress APPROPRIATELY.

An Armarni suit may make you feel fantastic at work, but you will feel like a bit of a doushbag if you rock up to a beach party wearing your new Rolex watch and suit. So dress APPROPRIATELY.Body shape: It is no surprise that exercise gives you both a physical boost AND a mental boost. Exercise has been shown to release Endorphins which are the same hormone that is released after sex. This is when you are at your most calm, and most content, and this is projected out to the outside world as well. By exercising regularly, and boosting both your body image as well as your mental state, you will improve you chances of being successful with the ladies purely for the fact that you feel better and aren’t a mess. I don’t mean you need to go and start taking protein powder and exercising 4 times a day, whilst eating 8 meals of a piece-of-fist-sized-boiled-chicken, but even riding a bike, or going for a run will make you feel exhilarated and happy. Girls like happy, content, calm men.
Conversation: It is relatively impossible to make an impression, unless you’ve opened your mouth – conversation is key to moving onto the next level. No matter how good you think you are, if you are not getting the dates, you probably need more help with your technique in conversations. There are some things you can do to improve your chances:
- Maintain eye contact. Girls do not like it when you are looking down at their breasts. Nor do they like it when your eyes are wandering over the their face – ie: whilst you ponder why their eyebrows are so immaculately groomed. It exudes confidence if you look girls straight in the eyes. Whilst you practice this, try not to stare, because this can make you come across as more of a stalker rather than a potential mate.
- Say the girls name during the conversation. Girls love it when you say their name in sentences – for example: “Oh, I can’t believe you did that, Jessica” is a true heart warming thing. No-one really knows why this is the case, but simply by doing this, girls tend to hold you in higher regard – they feel special.
- Don’t stutter, or stumble when you talk. Make sure you know what you are about to say before saying it – there is no point in answering quickly if your content is poor. On the other hand, even those with nothing to say, can come across confident if they seem sure when they are speaking.
- Hold your chin up slightly and your shoulders square – this doesn’t mean puffing out your chest and throwing your hose into the air. But if you concentrate of maintaining that posture during your first meetings with people, then you won’t come across as shy or depressed. Hunched shoulders and a drooping head are sure signs that you are not confident meeting the person. Think of how you would speak to a child. You never curl up when you speak to a child.
- Shaking hands is important even for girl-guy first impressions. We probably all know that a limp handshake can leave a poor first impression on a potential colleague or when first meeting your friends friend at the bar, and similarly, this is the case for women. Don’t crush her hand, but make sure she knows you are there. There is no point in having a soft handshake. Remember, girls get flung around dance floors – you won’t injure her unless you are actually trying to.
So there you have it. A few simple tips to get you started. I will be revisiting this again soon. For the time being – Visit the forum at www.datingdragons.com/forums to discuss what other things you can do for improving your first impressions.
